Mass Effect 3 DLC - How far is too far?

Cam and I were talking and we think it'd be great if the DLC character was Shepard.

Let's not give them any more ideas.

And that if you didnt get the DLC your character would be a no name, poorly rendered, no voice actor, generic solider.

"The content in 'From Ashes' was developed by a separate team (after the core game was finished) and not completed until well after the main game went into certification," added Gamble. This mirrors executive producer Casey Hudson's comments from yesterday.

I've read all their excuses - as a customer I don't care when something was made or who made it. I don't care about how Bioware handles their development process.

Content was done before release. They had time to include it with the CE, so they had time to include with the SE.

It's like if a book was coming out that you wanted, and the author announces that they had time to kill after the book was sent off to be printed, so they wrote another chapter or two to the story and you can buy it seperately in a digital format when the book is released.

That wouldn't feel very good, knowing that the book your buying isn't the complete book.

In addition, the fact that in the past they made these types of things perks for people buying the game new, and now it's something you have to pay extra for, just irks me the wrong way. I don't like it.

In this day and age with the fierce competition among games, they can't afford to piss off their player base. It's just so easy for me to spend my money on something else.

This isn't mine.. or many gamers' problems.
Day one DLC isn't really anything new.. sadly.

My beef.. my biggest beef is the divide between CE and normal editions getting the content.
Especially since it was announced this late in the game and a lot of places have sold out of the CE.. so even if you wanted to support it.. you couldn't.

Its bad business.. in so many ways!

Someday we are going to talk about open source gaming and community development quite fondly. The days when you could buy a game, and download gigabytes of free user-generated content that kicked ass. Sometimes developers even put out free content.

Ya, I went in to EB the other day to upgrade to the collectors edition and they are sold out everywhere. Kind of a dick move.
